Representation Summary:

Should clearly state that air quality is worsening in Ipswich and that further AQMAs are currently being defined. Pedestrians and cyclists will not want to walk/cycle through AQMAs alongside queuing traffic as this will damage their health therefore undermining sustainable travel options. Unless this fact is recognised the CS will not sufficiently address this major issue. Ipswich's air quality needs to be assessed in the context of DIRECTIVE 2008/50/EC 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe. The CS and SA must take account of the annual Progress Reports in relation to compliance with this Directive.
